Baldwin High School students on Friday marked the 25th anniversary of 9/11 by reading old letters written by teenagers who were alive during the 2001 attacks.
About 30 miles from Ground Zero, the exercise connected a generation born after 9/11 with firsthand reflections from peers who experienced the day.
The school commemoration unfolded as former presidents and survivors gathered elsewhere for songs and speeches, underscoring how remembrance is shifting to younger Americans.
